MEXICO'S ILLEGAL DRUG PROBLEMS AND OUR OWN ARE TIED TOGETHER
It is long past time to recognize that the only beneficiaries of this
country's war on drugs are the traffickers and legions of police who
oppose them. As with alcohol, gambling and tobacco, a scheme of
regulation and taxation combined with rehabilitation and punitive
measures for those unable to use drugs responsibly would better serve
our populace, as well as that of our southern neighbors.
